Call of Duty Elite: Worth the $50 Price Tag or Not?

Velocity Gamer: Activision finally released all the details of whats in store for those who purchase a subscription for Call of Duty Elite. But is it really worth your $50? We take a deeper look into whats being offered.

I hadn't though about it but after reading the article the author is right. You can find most of the stuff their offering for free elsewhere. I almost feel like they're copying most of what gamebattles offers and trying to charge people for it.

There's that and just think about it. PS Plus or XBL subscribers will be paying over $100 a year on just subscription fees. Unless your one of those people that are lucky enough to find good deals on those.

Edit; but what we're saying is that the cost of playstation plus is completely optional and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as call of duty elite because it's up to whoever buys it to get it. Just like call of duty elite. You don't need it. Why should a game company be any different? Coca cola continue to put up the prices of their bottles of cola whether people want to buy sweets or not.

@Jordanemery You are severely misinformed. Everything that was always free with COD is still free with Elite - nothing has been taken away. In fact, many features have been added to the free portion of Elite that haven't been available before. I'm not sure where you are going with this?

If you plan on buying all the DLC for mw3 then yes it's worth it. It offers enough bells and whistles to make it an appealing buy for die hard cod players. If you don't plan on getting the DLC or not sure, then no it really isn't.

As much as I don't really like CoD, this is a good deal. It all just depends on what type of player you are. If you only play campaign then this is garbage for you. But if you download every DLC pack it will honestly save you money.

Instead of looking at Elite as a service unto itself, treat Elite like a so-called season pass for DLC. COD fans that buy every piece of DLC can expect to pay $60 a year on it a la carte. With Elite, you get ALL of the DLC for $50 (or $40 if you get the Hardened Edition) AND you get the bonus features of the paid Elite membership. It's actually a great value for people who buy all of the DLC if you compare it to the current model that Activision goes by.
